black rooms...I even painted my guest bathroom black.This was after I lost the battle at home to paint the guestbedroom black. Granted, it's not the usual color to painta bedroom or any room for that matter - but black as aroom color can definitely work. Take the above room forinstance, who would ever think of pairing this ornate bedwith black lacquered walls? But it works and to me it'sglam and chic with an edge.

Here's a room where the black bed frame blends into theblack walls and ceiling. It's actually pretty neat. Even thebench, rug and door frame is painted black. The gray flooringand white bedding give some contrast to an otherwise veryblack room.

This room is painted all black except for the window frames.The white desk and white bed linens help temper this space.

Black textured wallpaper on one wall can make quite astatement without painting the entire room black.

Black and bright yellow. You can also pair black withother bright colors where it can really make a color pop.

Metallics will always look good against black.

This is Jennifer's bedroom (Made by Girl). She makesfantastic stationary and we share a common penchantfor the union jack. Isn't her bedroom cool?

This kitchen is from Domino magazine. I don't knowabout you but I don't see many kitchen walls and ceilingspainted black - but this really seems to work. Paintingkitchen walls and cabinets with chalkboard paint has alsobeen popular lately. You can achieve a similar affect with itand have the benefit of being able to use the wall as achalkboard - pretty nifty if you ask me.

Black can make instantly create the "cool" factorin any room. It can also make a room feel cozylike this great lounging space where the walldisappears into the ceiling.

Sky blue with black and white - blackand be a great neutral color.

This photo by Ted Yearwood showcasesan all black bathroom - even the dooris black.

The black marble and crystal scones in thisbathroom really make for a swanky and highend bathroom. Can't forget the lacquered wallsfor some shine and glam.

I just love how smooth and shiny the blackwalls are in this bathroom. The single yellowchair in this room really creates visual interest.

Black walls isn't something that I think about much, but I'm glad you wrote about it! Even though I'm drawn to the really glam looks, they would never work in practice for me [I like a more lived in look]. But I'm so intrigued by the kitchen and the bedroom with the casual beige decor... it works for me! These are definitely going into my deco files - Thanks!

I have upholstered a small library in a black satin/matte striped fabric. I love it. I am going to paint my staircase walls in black and white stripes and decided last week to paint the ceiling black. I think it forms an elegant backdrop and a I enjoy the range of blacks in sheen. Informative and lovely post.

I love black walls! Yes, I would consider doing it. It would have to be the right project or the right client, but at the end of the day it's only paint - if it needed to be changed after a period of time, and it's not a difficult room to paint - then experimenting with black would make for an interesting project.

I really like the way a black wall or two brings out the sharp lines and contrast of white picture frames as well as linens/pillows. Very underused and I think black walls can be done in a tasteful and classy manner. I really like that black bodied bath tub, with the white insides, really looks good in a black walled room.

I couldn't imagine having a black-painted room in my house, but I can appreciate in certain instances. I just think that if walls are going to be black, it needs to be offset with bright or lighter furniture & light window treatments.

Wow wow wow. We are design twins. I just found your blog, and I have to say that I have at least half of the images in your pages saved in my inspiration files on my hard drive, for our new house. Yours is a blog I will definitely be following!! LOVES!

I loved the first and the sixth photos!!! And I've been in LOVE with Ruthie Sommer's kitchen from Domino since I first saw it... I love the combo with the turquoise.

I actually have considered painting our guest bath black, but I know my husband would not get it. And with the overall style of my house now... really, it may not work. But it is fab, and I would do it in a heartbeat if I were still single!

great compilation of photographs. We have painted our living room a dark grey.. and love it.. though when other heard about it they all said 'do you really want to go that dark?' but once they see it they feel differently.

the great secret about deep dark colors is that often, they can make a space feel -bigger- than it actually is. Because it's so inky, it visually pushes away the walls into the background, especially if you paint out the ceiling too. a great trick to drawing attention away from a low ceiling-making it disappear.

A little reminder - walls must be in good shape because black will show flaws - just like it shows lint on clothes. I think the best place to try it would be a powder room, or maybe dining room. Dramatic but contained! Don't wimp out and do an accent wall though. If you are hesitant - and it is quite a committment- find black patterned wallpaper. The texture helps soften the impact.

My sister-in-law had a small guest bathroom in black back in the 70's. For the 'neat freak' that she claimed to be, it wasn't very nice.A friend in high school, also in the 70's, had permissive parents who allowed him to paint his room black. He then used white paint to write incredible verse in very small print and elaborate sketches all over the walls. Quite a creative kid!I know I could never get black walls past the SO; he insists that all walls should be art gallery white. I'm so bored with white walls I could scream! LOL!

I painted my guest room black and was terrified (wished I had seen this blog first) that I was making an ugly mistake. WoW~I was wrong. Since black is a color we are not use to working with in this way it can be very intimidating. The beauty of black is it makes everything pop. so all your colors come to life. Crystal sparkles like fire (provided you have lighting) and white takes on a life of it's own. GO FOR IT!
